When the lord of the wild Earnshaw estate, Wuthering Heights, returns from Liverpool, he brings with him a street urchin so wild that he can't speak. The young foundling is dubbed Heathcliff but is referred to as "it" by the rest of the household, which includes Catherine (Angela Scoular) and her resentful brother Hindley (William Marlowe). A young Ian McShane, in one of his earliest starring roles, delivers a mesmerizing performance as the dark brooding Heathcliff in this four-part BBC production, from 1967, of Emily BrontŽís romantic masterpiece.
